Serving Detroit Novi Auburn Hills Dearborn, our lot offers a variety of trim levels that deliver the amount of opulence that suits your personal preferences – as well as your budget.

2018 Kia Optima’s LX Trim

Even if your budget confines you to the entry-level LX, you won’t be disappointed. Under the hood, the base LX sports a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that’s rated for 185 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. Paired with a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic, this engine gets you up to speed in a timely fashion. The LX is also stocked with modern convenience features, including automatic headlights, heated mirrors, and remote locking and unlocking technology. The tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel and height-adjustable front seats help you get cozy behind the wheel. In back, the 60/40-split folding rear seat helps you expand cargo space whenever you’ve got something big to haul. Inside, the LX is decked out in tech features. The 7-inch touchscreen offers quick access to the apps you seek. You can use Bluetooth technology to stream music from your smartphone over the LX’s six-speaker audio system. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also standard equipment, displaying smartphone apps like Maps and Messages on your central touchscreen, so they’re right in your line of sight throughout your travels. You can also press a button on the steering wheel to access your phone’s voice controls, making it even safer to stay connected. Thanks to the standard rearview camera, you’ll enjoy optimal visibility as you back out of a cramped space. On the highway, the blind-spot monitoring system advises you as to whether there’s a vehicle in your blind spot, helping you switch lanes with confidence.

2018 Kia Optima’s LX 1.6T Trim

When you step up to the LX 1.6T, you gain access to its unique powertrain. The turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine generates 178 horses and 195 pound-feet of torque. The seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission is tuned to deliver maximum comfort and fuel-economy. It earns 28 city/37 highway mpg – the highest EPA ratings in the gas-powered Optima lineup. This trim is eligible for the Convenience package, which adds modern flourishes like a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. It also includes unique wheels to help you turn heads on the highway.

2018 Kia Optima’s S Trim

Next is the sporty Optima S, which utilizes the LX powertrain and adds a number of style and luxury flourishes. Inside, you’ll find cloth-and-leather upholstery to impress all your friends. Outside, LED taillights and a rear spoiler set the S apart from lower trim models. Thanks to this model’s foglights, you can cut through the mist on a humid morning. When you add the Panoramic Sport package to your Optima S, you’ll enjoy a sunnier ride to work, courtesy of the panoramic sunroof. Outside, gloss black exterior accents give the cabin unique style. The package also includes 18-inch wheels and larger front brakes.

2018 Kia Optima’s EX Trim

The upscale EX is an excellent option for drivers who want to cruise around town in style. Other drivers are sure to notice the EX’s flashy LED daytime running lights and spoiler. Exterior details, like illuminated door handles and power-folding mirrors, help the EX stand apart in a crowd. Keyless entry and ignition gets you off to a smooth start each morning. If you’ve got your hands full, you can use the hands-free feature to unlock the trunk for easier loading. Inside, the dual-zone automatic climate control allows both driver and front passenger to set their own perfect temperature. On a long road trip, nothing could be better. The rear air vents help your kids stay comfy when you’re stuck in rush-hour traffic. Flashy features, like the EX’s interior chrome accents and leather upholstery, give you a taste of the high life.
